Carmen observed the clown cat cat clown and the painter as they conversed. They seemed to get along rather well, but she couldn't tell any more than that because she was too busy looking at the painting Leroy had given her. She looked up at the sound of her name as Seven and Leroy were leaving the student center. “Nice meeting you Carmen, hope you enjoy that painting!” She smiled and waved back at him. "The pleasure was mine!" she yelled after him. "Maybe I'll see you at the cafeteria!" As they disappeared down the hallway, the student center was down to one occupant once more.

Carmen contemplated staying and playing more, but now that she thought about needed to find her own dorm room herself...and a place to store the painting, so she walked out of the hallways, finding a small slip of paper that said "Room 102" on it on her person. Finding her way down the stairs to her floor, painting in hand, she soon found her room. As she unlocked the door and walked in she was greeted by a typical dorm room. Oddly, though, it was late in the second day and it seemed her roommate hadn't been in the room at all. I guess it's not that odd, considering this is my first time in here as well, she thought. Electing to take the bedroom by the window, she placed the painting by her bed. On her desk was a notepad and pencil, and she took the opportunity to write her roommate-to-be a note. She didn't really have a preference which bedroom she had and didn't want to keep her roommate away from the window if she wanted it. She wrote the letter, pulled the sticky note from the rest of the pad, and placed it on the other bedroom's desk. It read as follows:

"Dear roommate,

It seems I have arrived at the room for the first time before you have. I tentatively put my couple of belongings in the other bedroom, but if you would like the window bedroom, please feel free to move my things to this one. It doesn't matter to me and I wouldn't want you to not get the window if you wanted it. Hopefully we'll run into each other sometime!

Your roommate,

Carmen" (signed very ornately)

With that settled, Carmen left her dorm room and walked out of the dorm building, looking for people to interact with. She could go to the cafeteria to see if the painter and the cat person were there, but she had just seen them (as much as she wanted to spend more time with the painter) and wanted to check out the garden, so out she went. There weren't many people in it, but one person caught her attention. It appeared to be a girl dancing around plants...nothing else. But in closer inspection, Carmen detected harmonic frequencies being exchanged between the girl and the plants - something that piqued her interest enough to decide on the flower girl as her conversation target. It seemed she wasn't the only one who noticed as the DJ from the party was closeby,, listening intently. Morphing into bird form to cross the garden, she touched down back as a human behind the girl - but only momentarily as the girl was twirling around. As the spin aligned itself with Carmen, she smiled at the girl and said simply "hello!" as the spin continued past her.

Love pentagon

How many times must I say it?

Love dodecahedron. Required.

Also really easy with all the forthcoming Hellspawn

I've never done a romance or a 1x1 before (though I'd be open to either).

Probably not the best option, then :P

I'm not good at art. I just pretend I am. xD

I don't even pretend :P

I could try to draw a person, but it...wouldn't look like a person.

At least you've done something and said something, but where the heck is everyone else?

Basically these last few days for me have been absolutely insane, and not predictably so. I didn't have time to get on my laptop at all, let alone RPG. But, the semester is now totally over so I should have a lot more time to RP.

Carmen, practicing "silence is golden" religiously

Carmen had drifted out of the conversation for a while now, not really having anything to add to what had been said. The painter soon began asking about the party though, something which did involve her. Dani's response was...interesting...though, and Carmen had to chime in.

"You? You did the exact opposite of start it!" she exclaimed at Dani, her voice raised for the first time at Athalia. It wasn't an angry exclamation, but a confused one. Looking at the others, she continued. "Allan - the dragon - took this poor guy and slammed him through a table, and the demon showed up and started fighting the dragon, basically because of his bullying. I met Dani and Allan at the same time a while before the party, and when I did Allan was bullying Dani just the same. It was so uncalled for. Though, I seemed to enter in the middle of something he was quite upset about - what exactly happened before I got there?" she queried, looking back at Dani. Perhaps Dani instigated something, she thought to herself. He just doesn't seem like the type to do anything bad...at least on purpose.

Of course, life is far more important than roleplaying. I guess I worded it incorrectly. I meant that the roleplay in general just feels tame after that one incident with Allan going ham in the party.Oh, how much I'll have to try catching up with you bullet-typers when things get heated up.

I'd just chalk it up to fortunate timing. Nearly everyone in the RP was on going ham in the OOC right when the action started. Luck i guess. We just need another action moment to kickstart everything again after everyone is sufficiently acquainted and free in real life...knowing you and Hylian there's probably one already planned :P

I seem to be the only person besides Ebil on team mattily :O

This roleplay suddenly became a tertiary priority to nearly everybody in this roleplay now.

I'd be surprised if this roleplay was anything higher than a tertiary priority to anyone here, honestly. We all have real lives to attend to. For me, it's always been about how much time i have after taking care of the most important things to spend on my lower priorities such as RPG and Athalia. For most of it it's thankfully been a decent amount of time, but at times like these last few days that time dwindled to zero.

As for my favorite kind of boy/girl? Girl is easy, a soft spoken but beautiful one. She's by far the quietest in the group and whenever she says something it's really meaningful, but she's also really strong willed inside. As for boys, it's more difficult for me. I tend to always like the comic relief protagonist (Sokka from Avatar (Airbender not James Cameron) comes to mind) more than anyone else in the cast so i guess that counts for something.

Athalia Academy

Sooo... Life happened.

Last few days have been an absolute nightmare. I haven't been able to even get on my laptop once let alone RPG. However...the semester is now over. Done. In the past. History.

I'm so, so relieved to be done. I'm back :D

@Sukui: cool flashback! But the car guy in me has to object to something:

Sukui said There were both cars and horsecarts within the streets, but at that time more horses roamed than steel engines.

In 1931 New York? Not at all. In 1901 New York, perhaps. Cars had long replaced the horse and cart, being the majority as early as 1910. The Model A Ford (sold almost 5 million examples from 1927-1931) was in its last year of production.
